“What’s This?” A Tantalizing Tim Burton-Inspired Spooktacular Wedding

Tim Burton Inspired Wedding

What’s this? What’s this? There’s color everywhere… What’s this? There’s white things in the air. What’s this?” Did Danny Elfman’s catchy tune from A Nightmare Before Christmas just start playing in your head as you read that? If so, you’re in for one spooktacular treat today, designed by Fandom Affairs!

Taking a note or two from the diaries of Tim Burton, this moody editorial features haunting details inspired by Sleepy Holly, Sweeney Todd, Beetlejuice, and more. If you’re familiar with Tim Burton’s style, you know that he’s got a penchant for doing things a bit darker, bringing out eerie, yet romantic, feelings and intriguing shapes + designs. He developed his own signature style, stuck to it, and always does things his way… For that reason, we think Tim Burton is very on-brand with our belief at GWS: couples should create something uniquely their own, focus on their style, and do weddings their way!

Let’s take a step into the world of Tim Burton + see all the chic interpretations of his classic films, captured by With Love by Georgie!

A major standout: this gorgeous high-collared tulle cape the bride donned from Adina’s Bridal. It’s the perfect alternative to a traditional veil, and fits in beautifully with the Tim Burton world. The touch of black in the bride’s bodice was just enough of a twist to complete the look.

The reception table was a breathtaking masterpiece with its many subtle details. Starting with the oversized upholstered chairs by Provenance Rentals flanking either side of the table; the black and gold trimmed plates accented by brass coupes added a level of luxury, which tied in seamlessly with the rich linens.

The impressive floral centerpiece by Bridezilla Events struck the perfect balance of abundant blooms with greenery and the eerie feeling of the weed-like vines slowly taking over the table.
